Come riddle come riddle to me dear Mod [?]
Or what is the best to do
Or who will we have at the party
With Johnny and James and you

We'll have the McGraths and the Gleesns
Likewise the Holligans three
Wont that be the merry party
With Rody and Mary and me

We'll want him to play
What will it be but a couple of bottles of beer
And a cup of Liptons tay.

Sure I'll tell you what you'll do
Tell them when they are drawing in the hay
They will have Johonny and James and you(continues on next page)- Collector
